a study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ucb0022 in study participants with advanced parkinson's disease

Conditions: Parkinson Disease

Summary: the primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of ucb0022 as an adjunctive treatment to stable dose of standard-of-care (soc) (including at least levodopa therapy) over placebo with regard to motor fluctuations time spent in the off state (off time) in study participants with advanced parkinson's disease (pd).
